A Powerful Team: Accurate Hardware, Intuitive Software, Easy Setup

Your farm is unique. You must make decisions based on your crops, growing on your land, in the unique conditions that are found only there on your property. EnviroMonitor will let you create a system precisely suited to deliver the information you need. With your micro-climate data in the Cloud, you’ll be able to access it from your PC and mobile devices. Our WeatherLink.com site allows you to customize your dashboard, perform in-depth analysis with reports, charts and graphs, export data and much more. Easily access your data with Mobilize, our free, intuitive, decision-making app that puts field data in your hands. Customize your screen views, quickly browse sensor data, view forecasts, frost information, alarm setup, and more.

Make Data-Driven Decisions

Use real-time, field data based on your micro-climate to make decisions on what matters most.

Specific Crop Management

EnviroMonitor System

EnviroMonitor is a revolution of precision agriculture: it gathers intelligence by measuring, monitoring and managing critical field data related climate, irrigation, and crop production. Add almost any sensor you choose to suit your needs and microclimate. Sensor data is gathered over a secure, self-optimizing, self-healing network.

What is EnviroMonitor?

Have you ever wished for an assistant who would roam your fields, day and night, and keep you informed of changes that might affect your plants? Or maybe a time machine that would let you go back a day or two before an unusual cold snap damaged your crop? EnviroMonitor lets you add almost any sensor you need (dozens of the most popular industry standard sensors) anywhere you need it in your microclimate. As your needs grow and change, you can add or move sensors to create an affordable field system with Cloud-based data and user-friendly software.

Why Davis?

Davis has been providing precision agriculture solutions for the farming and ranching community for years. EnviroMonitor, a natural extension of our capabilities, harnesses the power of precision agriculture. The platform combines weather data with intelligent software to help you determine the best time to plant, spray, fertilize, and harvest.

How Does It Work?

1. You choose the sensors you need. Select from Davis and third-party sensors.

2. Install the sensors and connect them to Nodes (up to 4 sensors per Node).

4. The Nodes form a secure, self-optimizing, self-healing network, transmitting data from sensors to the Gateway or another Node. Data flows automatically from your fields to your smartphone, giving you the information you need to make important decisions.

5. Manage your crops with personalized software that offers custom alerts, team set-up, and more–all to help you streamline farm management processes. Access your data on WeatherLink.com as well as through Mobilize, our powerful management app.

The EnviroMonitor Gateway: Your data transportation center

The EnviroMonitor Gateway collects all data from the Nodes and pushes it securely to the Cloud using cellular or Wi-Fi/Ethernect connectivity. From there the data can be accessed on your internet-connected devices like smartphones, tablets and computers. The cellular Gateway is encapsulated in a weather-resistant housing and is solar-powered with a battery back-up to keep your data flowing. The IP Gateway is AC-powered with battery backup. It can be mounted outside in a Universal Shelter.

You can gather data from 25+ Nodes per Gateway. That’s up to 80 Davis and third party sensors per Gateway! And because the Nodes can communicate up to 10,000 ft. (3,000 m), Node-to-Node and Node-to-Gateway with 8 dBi Longe-Range Antennas (7678), you can cover a lot of ground with one network. (Note: Range varies with terrain and environment.)

The EnviroMonitor Node: Your sensor data collector

Connect Davis’ accurate and reliable sensors, as well as third party sensors such as flow meters, pressure switches and more, to an EnviroMonitor Node. You can connect up to four sensors per node.

Nodes gather data from sensors and communicate with each other (up to 10,000 ft./3,000 m, Node-to-Node and Node-to-Gateway with 8 dBi Longe-Range Antennas). They connect over a self-optimizing mesh network that feeds your data wirelessly to the EnviroMonitor Gateway. Every Node is a self-contained, weather-resistant, solar-powered unit that comes with mounting hardware. You can have 25+ Nodes in one network.

The EnviroMonitor Website: Your Data, Your Way

Your data can be easily accessed via WeatherLink.com, a secure site dedicated to your weather-viewing needs. It displays current conditions, sensor status, and makes running reports a snap.

Our WeatherLink.com site allows you to customize your dashboard, perform in-depth analysis with reports, charts and graphs, export data and much more. Customize the dashboard to your preferences; even share data privately with others.

See Increased Yields

“Using a Davis station and soil moisture sensors, we were able to use degree days to better predict harvest, as well as substantially increase yields with better irrigation management.”
– John Williamson, Agricultural Consultant, USA

Save Money on Water

“Water is precious and too much or too little will make or break my crop. I save money on water and pumping costs, while making sure that the water applied reaches the tree roots.”
– Jay Watson, Apple Farmer, California
